Only three records document Dina’s life in Lyme. At age 21 she was listed in the estate inventory of Samuel Selden (1695-1745) and appraised at 100 pounds. Her circumstances over the next 70 years are not known, but as a young woman she likely provided domestic labor for Selden, who owned extensive acreage, called Twelve Mile Island Farm, that included a cove along the Connecticut River, agricultural land, a sawmill, and a prosperous fishery. Town records and the records of Lyme’s third church both note Dina’s death from old age and other debility in 1811 when she was “about 90.”
